When we came in from work yesterday there was a decorated box sitting outside of our apartment door. It had come from Angela and Andy and the kids. What a perfect way to start the new year and say good-bye to 2014. Christmas was different than anything we have experienced before and yet it was great fun because we visited the beautiful city of Boston, talked with all of our children and most of the grandkids. We had a little foil tree on our kitchen table and had our Christmas dinner the Sunday after Christmas. I guess it all comes down to the fact that traditions are made for different reasons and some will stay forever and others will be a one or two time thing. We are serving in a beautiful area and feel happy that we are able to keep up with the work and at times give a little more than we thought we could. Do I miss our family? Absolutely. Would we do this again? I think we would. Do I have any regrets? None at all. I know the Lord qualifies whom he calls and we are learning so many things that would have never happened had we chosen to stay home and be comfortable. Thank you Angela for the Christmas goodies--they were wonderful (especially the letters)--but thank you more for picking up the slack while we aren't at home to take care of our house, our mail, our yard. Thank you for making this mission easier because we know you and Andy are keeping things going at home.
